Understanding Different Types Of Paralysis
Where your spinal cord or nerve damage occurs determines which parts of your body lose function. The different types of paralysis include:
- Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia): Cervical spine injuries affect your arms, legs, torso and pelvic organs. You need constant care and major home changes.
- Paraplegia: Thoracic, lumbar or sacral spinal cord damage paralyzes your lower body. You will be unable to walk and require a wheelchair for the rest of your life.
- Hemiplegia: Traumatic brain injuries or medical malpractice can paralyze one entire side of your body. You are likely to lose your independence and ability to work.
- Monoplegia and Diplegia: Monoplegia means one limb is paralyzed. Diplegia means matching body parts are paralyzed, like both arms. These often happen from nerve damage in one area.
- Facial paralysis and Bell’s Palsy: Surgery errors, birth injuries or severe trauma can cause permanent facial paralysis. This may affect basic functions like eating, blinking or breathing
Pennsylvania accidents causing paralysis include:
- Truck collisions
- Construction falls in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
- Medical malpractice at regional hospitals
- Workplace incidents
Attorney Wes Kocsis can help you pursue compensation for your permanent injury.
Your Recovery Extends Beyond Medical Bills
Paralysis creates costs that last a lifetime. These expenses go far beyond your first hospital stay. Your legal claim should cover your ongoing medical needs and the financial impact on your life:
- Chronic pain management and breathing problems
- Skin sore treatment and bowel and bladder control issues
- Home changes for wheelchair access and vehicle changes
- Medical equipment and in-home care
- Lost wages and loss of life enjoyment
You deserve compensation for both your economic and noneconomic damages.
